my vote for best caifornia chip book is eastmans..talked to him a month back and he is very close to finishing part two of the california chip book...hey people, why dont you let larry eastman back into the chip club.. he by far has done more to help collectors than hurt them..his crime was liking casino chips to much..have seen others do this same thing to me, and im sure you know who you are...so give larry a break and let him back into the club..one thing for sure he has saved me alot of time and energy trying to track down those california beauties..wonder who got him started collecting chips anyways?
